Weyant and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Invisible Government" by Dan Smoot is a political commentary written in the early 1960s. The book explores the concept of an unseen power controlling the United States government and critical institutions, suggesting that this "invisible government" operates through influential groups advocating for socialist policies and global governance. In particular, it highlights the Council on Foreign Relations as a key player in shaping U.S. foreign policies that Smoot argues furthers a one-world socialist agenda. The opening portion sets the stage for Smoot's theories, articulating his belief that the American political landscape has been increasingly influenced by various unseen entities since World War II. He begins with a quote from Thomas Jefferson emphasizing the need for an enlightened populace and then outlines how known communists in government laid the groundwork for ongoing policies that, according to Smoot, have persisted regardless of the political party in power. He contends that the policies emerging from these groups have systematically stripped voters of their power, making it essential for citizens to understand and counteract this influence for the sake of the Republic.
